Your Devotional message for 12th April 2021
Scripture:
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you (John 14:26, NKJV).
Explanation:
One of the crucial elements of our understanding and receiving Divine Health and Healings is our understanding of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ could not start His Ministry until He had to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and Fire. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him (Matthew 3:16, NKJV).
Are you born again? If yes, God puts His Spirit – Holy Spirit inside your spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the same Spirit as in the Old Testament. He was at the creation as the Creator. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters (Genesis 1:1-2, NKJV). There the Holy Spirit was present during the Creation of the whole aspect of Life.
He is a Person rather than Just a breath or Wind or Fire, but He is God Himself. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come (John 16:13, NKJV). The Holy Spirit is a Person and have His own attributes.
We had previously discussed Trinity. There is Trinity – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ promised His disciples the Comforter or Paracletes to assist us whenever help is required. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you (John 14:26, NKJV).
The prophecy of Isaiah indicates that There are 7 Spirits of God that make up the Holy Spirit that would rest upon Jesus Christ. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord (Isaiah 11:2, NKJV). We must be baptized with the Holy Spirit. John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to lose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire (Luke 3:16, NKJV.
Apart from Baptism of the Holy Spirit you must be filled with the Holy Spirit. The infilling of these seven Spirits of God is necessary. This was a great experience of the Apostles who waited for the Promise at Pentecost. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:4).
To be filled with the Spirit requires spiritual exercises such as speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God (Ephesians 5:19-21, NKJV).
The Holy Spirit in you can give Life to your mortal bodies.
The Holy Spirit empowers His people for a specific task: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him (Acts 10:38).
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you (Romans 8:11, NKJV)
Stay tune as we shall continue further tomorrow. Remain uncommonly blessed .
Confession:
I confess that I am born again. the Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to my mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in me. The word of God is in my mouth. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, it is piercing even to the division of my soul and spirit, and of my joints and marrow, and is a discerner of my thoughts and intents of the heart.
I prosper in all my ways and have good success daily, monthly and all years to the Glory of God in the name of Jesus. My body is healthy and strong. I refuse sickness, diseases, and evils of this world. I exercise my dominion over devil and the cohorts of darkness. From today I declare my victory and protection in the name of Jesus.
